Former "Friends" stars Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox will team up on television again.

The former onscreen couple will reunite on Perry's hit comedy "Go On" in April, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

And romance will once again be in the mix. The secretary of Perry's character Ryan King tries to fix him up on a date with Cox. Hilarity will no doubt ensue.

According to webswite W.E.N.N. the reunion is just the latest "Friends" get-together. Cox and David Schwimmer guest starred on Lisa Kudrow's "Web Therapy," Kudrow and Jennifer Aniston appeared on an episode of Cox's "Cougar Town," and Aniston also guest starred on Cox's comedy "Dirt."

CHRIS BROWN ALLEGEDLY LIED ABOUT COMMUNITY SERVICE: Authorities say Chris Brown violated his probation from the Rihanna assault case by submitting fake documentation of the community service work he was supposed to do.

You can't expect a busy celebrity like Chris Brown to have the time for doing community service when he already has a packed schedule of punching people, taking Instagram photos with Rihanna, and ranting on Twitter about how he's so misunderstood.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney says in court documents that Brown lied when he claimed he had performed all of his community service in connection with the Rihanna beating case, according to TMZ.

Right -- that's his ex-girlfriend. And his new girlfriend -- the one in all the new photos.

Bryan T. Norwood, the Chief of Police in Richmond, VA., wrote a letter to the judge in September, saying Brown completed 202 days of community service (he was supposedly only required to perform 180).

The judge got suspicious and the D.A. investigated, finding no "credible, competent or verifiable evidence" that Brown did the 180 days community service, sources told TMZ.

D'oh.

Apparently, some of the days Brown was allegedly doing community service, he was also out of the country doing concerts.

Maybe he has a really, really fast plane.

The D.A. said Brown's documentation is "at best sloppy, and at worst fraudulent reporting," and is asking the judge to reject the Virginia community service hours and make him fulfill his obligation in Los Angeles County.

TMZ reported that the D.A. said Brown's mother was responsible for orchestrating work at the Children's Center outside of normal operating hours and a key administrator told the D.A. she never saw Brown working at the center.

ROBERT DE NIRO GETS EMOTIONAL ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS: Robert De Niro became highly emotional while talking about mental illness during an interview with Katie Couric on Monday, according to the Huffington Post. The actor appeared with "Silver Linings Playbook" co-star Bradley Cooper and director David O. Russell. The other two men discussed bipolar and mood disorders -- Russell's son suffers from bipolar disorder, which inspired the director to make the movie.

De Niro didn't say much, but when asked about how he related to the movie, the 69-year-old acting legend -- who has four sons -- started talking, then stopped. "I don't like to get emotional, but I know exactly what (Russell) goes through," De Niro said, voice cracking. He appeared to be holding back tears.

Russell said De Niro related deeply to the movie, telling Couric he saw a strong visceral reaction from the actor after he read the script. "I thought he was having hay fever, then I realized he was having an emotional reaction and I sat there and watched Robert De Niro cry for 10 minutes and I said, 'Wow he's really connecting with this material and this would be beautiful thing if it could work out, because I think his heart would be there' and it is there."

"Silver Linings Playbook" is nominated for eight Academy Awards, including De Niro for best supporting actor.

Kristen Wiig will join the cast of the much-anticipated sequel "Anchorman: The Legend Continues," director Adam McKay said on Facebook, adding "Couldn't be more excited."

JUSTIN BIEBER STILL 'HANGING OUT' WITH SELENA GOMEZ: Robert De Niro became highly emotional while talking about mental illness during an interview with Katie Couric on Monday, according to the Huffington Post. The actor appeared with "Silver Linings Playbook" co-star Bradley Cooper and director David O. Russell. The other two men discussed bipolar and mood disorders -- Russell's son suffers from bipolar disorder, which inspired the director to make the movie in the first place.

De Niro didn't say much, but when asked about how he related to the movie, the 69-year-old acting legend -- who has four sons -- started talking, then stopped.

Then he stood up and yelled "You lookin' at me?" at the cameraman.

No he didn't.

Russell said De Niro related deeply to the movie, telling Couric he saw a strong visceral reaction from the actor after he read the script. "I thought he was having hay fever, then I realized he was having an emotional reaction and I sat there and watched Robert De Niro cry for 10 minutes and I said, 'Wow he's really connecting with this material and this would be beautiful thing if it could work out, because I think his heart would be there' and it is there."

IMDB.com said Ain't It Cool News reported the first "Star Wars" spinoff will be about Yoda.

Didn't he die?

"To start with, they're going to focus on established characters and do solo films," the website's Harry Knowles said about Disney's plans. "The first stand-alone film is going to center upon Yoda. At this stage specifics are sparse, but Kathleen Kennedy is putting together a 'Star Wars' slate."
